Lio Rush in the doghouse again

[The Great One]

Everyone stop making this shyt race related.

Mark Henry who almost sued the company over Michael Hayes and didnt want to welcome Hogan back, said its not race related.

Other reports of Drake Maverick and Alestair Black who are as white as ghosts doing this shyt without complaining are out there.

This type of rookie stuff goes on in every sport, its life if you want to be part of a fraternity or a team. When you refuse to do it, you are telling everyone else you are better then them.

People who have issues in here with this have never been on a team or played a sport.

No one is asking Lio Rush to scrub a floor with a toothbrush. A simple bottle of water and a pat on the back to a guy who just had a good match is not demeaning.

What about Sasha? Is Lio a bigger star than her?

She deserves better too I said it in the thread about her

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

N then these older wrestlers wonder why the newer guys dont respect them. That man has kids fukk he looking like carrying some white guys luggage and giving him water if he supposed to be on the same level as them. fukk your tradition, ol "shut up and just dribble" ass washed up wrasslers wanna give their 2 cents

I could see if you're cool w someone on some friend getting them a water but doing that and carrying bags for that maga infested pos locker room nah fukk that.

Wrestling is so stupid with these antiquated traditions of carrying bags and all that other bullshyt.

This is exactly the type of attitude to have for this business. You're going places kid, I can guarantee you that. Who knows, that brass ring might be yours sooner or later.

Now go fetch me a water, boy. And it better be Fiji, and it better be cold. And if that bottle is sweating, you're going back.

 

[Psychosis]

Damn, it was 300k/year for 5 years.

$1.5m for being the manager

Dog they have expenses out of the ass, shyt might be 50k after all expenses are figured out

They also work 300+ days a year.

My man.

Looks like he got the company to admit they were in the wrong and still stood on his his square and told Cokeboy to go fukk himself.

Even told them, 'Let me leave and see how popping I get.'

I respect the hell out of that self belief.

Also -They really expect people to sign up for five more years of shytty treatement?

The bad thing is, he's talking too much. If you want out, just say that, and alot of times they let you go.

Wwe is petty tho, you start complaining pubically to anyone who'll listen, and they'll hold onto you the entirety of that contract, not use you or bury you every week, and then put you on a non-compete after ur contract.

 

[krackdagawd]

Handing him a bottle of water and saying good match sounds super racist.

Everyone stop making this shyt race related.

of course the jugallo cac gonna come in with the "this isnt race related" get the fukk out of here. How about if you aren't black I don't give a fukk what your opinion is on what is or isn't racist.

All the wrestlers talking have been for wwe and they shyt they have done for the longest fukk their opinion too.

“Shake everybody’s hand every night and I’ll give you an ‘oil check’ and if you refuse, I’ll take you to wrestler’s court ”

Right imagine telling a grown man some shyt like this this another case of a confident black man not being w the fukk shyt so they gotta make him seem like he is a problem. Dude even asked for his release and they didn't give it to him they clearly know what he is worth.

Lio is instant babyface status for standing up to that dumbass fukking rookie young boy culture. And the vets who defend it are exemplifying Stockholm syndrome. Maybe encourage a better lockerroom going forward, rather than thinking new guys should do some bullshyt just because you had to?

I'm telling you, anyone who shyts on Hall and Nash for how they handled their business at this point is either young or really naive to the world. There is no loyalty and life isn't fair. Get paid and don't feel bad about it.

knocking on a guy who has confidence, knows his worth and doesn't put up with shyt? I'll never understand it. These "happy to be here" types are the ones that are poisonous to the industry. McMahon loves those guys.

From the capitalism on steroids business practices, to the high school mentality from a lockerroom full of grown ass men who call themselves "the boys", man what a fukked up industry.

I was just thinking yesterday that if Lio were 6'9", he'd just be Kevin Nash in this situation.

Now, because he's like 5'4", he can't conduct himself in that manner, and not realizing that is his big mistake here (and why he really needs to think harder about what shyt he is and isn't willing to eat if he wants to stay with WWE. Him wanting to stay definitely isn't a given at this point though). But it is both funny and important to consider.

Also re: the contract offer. It's $300,000 per year over 5 years per Mike Johnson and others. That SEEMS like a lot, but when you factor in taxes and expenses, he's taking home, what? Half that? A third, even? 100-150K isn't bad money at all for us, but having to bleed through so much on overhead when they're not going to give you an opportunity to make more money on PPV bonuses (which I'm not sure even exist post-Network) or merch does not make for an especially good offer. That's BEFORE we get into his issues with the WWE culture.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Imagine having a boss you actually wanna work for and make money and he's telling you no

 

[jwinfield]

Dog they have expenses out of the ass, shyt might be 50k after all expenses are figured out

Have to pay for all your travel, lodging and health insurance.

Lio Rush can deny it all he wants, but there's no smoke without fire and it now seems clear that the talented Superstar has some significant heat backstage.

Upon hearing reports of Rush's behavior, former WWE Champion and Hall of Famer Mark Henry pulled him aside in an attempt to get to the root of the problem. However, when Lio denied that anything was wrong, Henry took it as a slight.

Here's what The World's Strongest Man had to say on the latest edition of Busted Open Radio.

"I pulled him aside the last time I saw him and told him ‘I’m hearing stuff in the locker room. What’s wrong?’ He said nothing’s wrong. It was a blatant lie to my face. I let him know that if he has a question, right now is the time to do that. You’re likely not going to run into someone who knows the system like I know the system. He didn’t do that. He lied to my face. Sometimes you have to talk to people that know more than you do.

If you can’t pay for a rental car, you can’t pay for a hotel with the money that you’re making every week then you need to change the way you’re spending. You can’t blame that on the office. If you spent everything before you got it, that’s your problem."
Apparently, several other Superstars - including Finn Balor and another unnamed WWE veteran - have attempted to talk sense to Rush, only to be told that he "works for Vince, not you."

There are no bonuses anymore which was one of the purposes of the Network. Enzo gave a lot of info on the behind the scenes in a shoot interview he did last month. The merch royalties are slim to none.

Hall said it best "You can either have friends or you can make money, I already have friends now I want the money".

Wrestling is so stupid with these antiquated traditions of carrying bags and all that other bullshyt.

Exactly. This isn’t a frat house. It’s a job. What other job has this sort of toxic work environment? Even fast food joints have a less toxic work environment than this company seems to have, and that’s an industry where people regularly get so fed up that they just quit on the spot without giving notice or quit by just not showing up anymore, even seen some of those myself when I was younger and in that industry. Squeeze every penny you can out of that company without hesitation. This sort of shyt is why these guys are working 300+ days a year while paying their own lodging, food, travel, and health insurance with no workplace discrimination protections.
